Since 2021, Coastal Water Protectors have been caring for coastlines through conservation efforts throughout the province of British Columbia. This work actively engages community members through various projects and programs.

BC Métis Federation’s Aquatic Habitat Restoration Fund is currently in its second year of a three-year agreement with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The project contributes to strategic planning and studies in coastal areas throughout the province, Indigenous capacity building to enable education on habitat restoration and conservation and contribute to long term sustainability of aquatic and coastal habitats.

The Coastal Conservation’s "Coastal Sea Wolves Aquatic Day Camps" aimed to educate and empower children and teens to partake in conservation efforts, while providing a cultural space to learn traditional Indigenous practices is made possible with funding provided by the Aquatic Habitat Restoration Fund.

BC Métis Federation’s Co-Developing Community Response project is currently in its fifth year of a five-year agreement with the Canadian Coast Guard. The project addresses Indigenous concerns surrounding the risks associated with tanker traffic to marine activities and the environment. Through this initiative, Indigenous groups, such as BC Métis Federation are able to co-develop capacity at a community level to support meaningful roles for Indigenous groups in the marine response system.

The Coastal Conservation’s "First Responder Initiative" aimed at providing education, confidence, and the tools to safely respond to a marine oil spill incident is made possible with funding from the Co-Developing Community Response project.
